Investigators with the Alabama Paranormal Association are touring battlefields statewide to gather material for the upcoming book “”Haunted Alabama Battlefields.”

Gini Brown, research director with the APA, encouraged people to share stories related to Civil War sites.

“I never realized there were so many confrontations throughout Alabama,” Brown said.

“In Bridgeport, one woman had seen an apparition in her home about 20 years ago when it was a newer house,” Brown said. “She saw a woman standing right behind her, just right in her face when she turned around. She said she remembers she was dressed in a long skirt and a starched blouse with a high collar. As soon as she ran away, she said she wished she had stayed.”
